SQL7905 is not really an error of the critical/severe type.

This message will always be generated for every table you create in a
standard library.

[Michael Quigley]
That's simply not true. A table in any library except QTEMP will be journaled if the library has is journaled using a named QSQJRN. Simply having journaling active in the library won't necessarily do it.

But my first question would be, "Do you want the tabled journaled?" sometimes that's not the best choice, sometimes it is. It depends.

The only way that I know where it is not created is if you
create the table in a Schema. A schema is a library in SQL terms but when
you create a schema on the IBM i, the schema/library is created with
additional objects which provide for functionality used in SQL. The Journals
are created automatically within these objects and when I tested this a long
time ago, the SQL7905 message does not get sent.

[Michael Quigley]
Right--as stated above, the requirement is that the library/schema be journaled with a journal named QSQJRN.

Here's a link to some pertinent IBM documentation: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=integrity-journaling

I do not see a way to create a table with a keyword to not create journals.
But I could have missed that.

You can happily ignore that message.
